Reality pornography is a genre of pornography where staged scenes, usually shot in cinéma vérité fashion, set up and prelude sexual encounters. These scenes may either have the cameraman directly engaging in sex (see Gonzo pornography) or merely filming others having sex.

For legal reasons, the vast majority of so-called reality porn involves professional actors and actresses posing as so-called "amateurs." Even though the women who perform in these films typically appear on many reality websites within a short span of time, most of these websites claim that each female is an amateur.

Another variant is when normal couples are videotaped by professionals. The only difference with amateur pornography relies on the professional filming and editing.
